Rangers all over the place.

Dreadful defending
2 years since Celtic beat rangers
They bought Hatete from Kawasaki Frontale (Caf's adopted Japanese team) for exactly 1 Euro 
Ahh makes sense. Thanks. Any PL standard gems?!
‘Gers getting destroyed.
Rangers keep trying to play from the back and they are absolutely awful at it.
Bloody hell! Must be a thread to bump here!They bought Hatete from Kawasaki Frontale (Caf's adopted Japanese team) for exactly 1 Euro
This is fecking great.
This is really good news for the country
what the feck is up with that no 31 defender?!
Delighted for Celtic, back where they belong in Scottish Football
Hatate should immediately be signed by Manchester reds. Pressing like a madman, he’s everywhere!
The Rangers defence letting the lad walk in and have a tap-in 5 yards out slap bang in the middle of the goal.
One of the worst 45 minutes I’ve seen from a player in a while.
Shame both sides aren’t at full strength but still a great watch
Unbelievable. They really should have loaned a defender or two, its worse than our reserves level
Celtic playing some fantastic stuff, could really be 4-5 up at this point.
Ange is a super super coach, as an Aussie who's kept a close eye on him wherever he's been, I always knew he was destined for big things. The football (#AngeBall) he gets his teams to play is brilliant and fast paced, no room for slacking off.
Easily good enough for one of the top legues in the world.

Glasgow Rangers?
More like Glasgow Strangers!
Am I right?

came to watch Diallo, stayed for the Hatate show. Holy feck what a 45 min this chap just had. Only his 4th game as well. Great to see an all around midfielder these days, one who can press, cover in defence, pass and score
Hatate looks brilliant. One to watch in the future
He cost about a fiver relative to modern transfer fees.
Jesus these Celtic lads are working hard.
Full of running.
A great watch
This guy Maeda is a talent too.
It took Rangers 63 minutes to make me realise Celtic have fecking Joe Hart in nets.

It took me some 40Holy Shit! It's Joe Hart
Wasn't aware
Ah, I must have missed Rangers other shot.It took me some 40
O Reilly has a nice delivery. Super left foot
Crikey, O'Reilly looks decent.
Beautiful to see Rangers get obliterated.
Ange is fantastic and GVB is a horrendous coach. He seems the type of manager who likes to sit deep and play it around the back. That doesn’t work in this age of football, especially against high pressing teams. You need to also press high and win the back. Camping in your half and hoping for a counter attack is why managers like Mourinho and Ranieri are struggling.
Great game tonight. Level is improving.
That first 45 minutes of football from Celtic was absolutely magical. Tears in my eyes if we see that at Old Trafford any time soon.
I've got to credit Celtic, the first 45 mins were brilliant. But Rangers played into their hands by sitting back, being passive and a lack of aggressiveion. The Hearts game the week before showed that perfectly, Celtic played like Man City first half, but Hearts finally matched them up 2nd half, got a goal back and missed a penalty to equalise.
How anyone can watch that game, and think the best tactic to play Celtic is to be passive and allow them long spells of the ball and to bring the crowd into it I don't know.
Tactics aside though, just the attitude for the Rangers players in an Old Firm game was shocking. I've seen Celtic batter Rangers on many occasions, but as a Rangers fan I don't think I've seen such a gutless performance as I saw from those players first 45, and that is worrying. There's a spine to come back into the team with Balogun, Helander, Jack, Davis, Ramsey & Morelos which should hopefully give them exactly that, a spine, but I still can't make excuses for what I saw there.
Celtic showing there's some serious talent in Japan and i'm stunned no one took advantage sooner.
There’s often a handful in Germany and the Netherlands. Daichi Kamada at Frankfurt, Ritsu Doan at PSV, and Masaya Okugawa at Bielefeld for example off the top of my head.
I know there's a few around Europe but Celtic have a contingent and a manager who's managed in Japan as well, although i guess European leagues with non-eu player regulations would struggle with that i suppose.
